Marvel's Merc with a mouth might be approaching closer than we think, at least based on this ad spotted by Joystiq on the Deadpool Bugle.

The action game from High Moon Studios would seem to be well-placed given the lack of tie-in titles for Marvel's 2013 tentpole feature "Iron Man 3" and lacking any other games to exploit the Marvel brand. "Deadpool" is being written by regular Marvel writer Daniel Way ("Wolverine: Origins," "Deadpool"), and though the details have been scarce, odds are it's your standard third-person character action game with a horribly disfigured anti-hero plagued by fourth wall-breaking voices in his head.
